A lively tale OF ciain-lumping
pmes to us, says the Atwood, Colo
ado, Advocate, from beyond the
renchman country, many miles
outheast of Sterling. Six months
90 Miss Minnie Palmer, bright
oung lady of 90 happy years from
Ianhattan, Kansas, filed pre-emp-
on claim on l6O acres of fine gov
rnment land near the Burlington &
5lissouri in the eastern part of this
ate. The claimant erected com
ortable one.story frame house, dug
well, had ten acres fenced, and
hree months ago went to Denver
nd took service in hotel to replen-
III her depleted pocket-book and buy
leed for spring crops, etc. During
er absence a new railroad was sur
eyed through the land, and it prom
i,ed to become valuable property.
Il AN INTRUDER.
! Last week Miss Minnie returned
) her claim to find the house occu-
led by big strapping Nebraskan,
Tho informed her that he had home
, teaded the land six weeks before,
nd "Dot by shimminie he would dot
and holt until the goat offer his
,ack cum!" Expostulation and ar
Ifuments were of no avail, and on the
,retepse that she wished to get some
hing out OF her trunk gained admis-
ion to the house. hurriedly closing
he door in the Teuton's face, who
vas about to enter with bucket of
sater in his hand. How that Dutch
nan raved and swore, it would take
srofane history to relate.
SUE TRIES HER PISTOL
The door was most too strong to
orce, SO the window was next tried,
aised, and the claim-jumper had
,ne leg over the window-sill, when a
bullet from little 22-calibre pill
.hrower entered his left shoulder,
md before he could turn his head to
sxpeotorate another found lodgment
his hip, and as he dropped to the
ground third parted his hair in the
middle, making an insignificant scalp
wound. The injured claim-jumper
begged the girl to ano more sheot,"
aud that he was "gif up everything"
# he was only permitted to live.
LITTLE HEROINE.
The heroic Miss Minnie dressed
her fallen foes wounds as best she
;ould--none of which will prove Sc
sious-and that evening the discom-
ited enemy was removed to friends
house, three miles away, where
proper attention conld be given, and
which he vows he will leave only to
go back to Germany. The unani-
NOUS sentiment of the community
sustains the young lady in her brave
battle for her home and her rights
and no prosecution will follow. Miss
Palmer is the right kind of west
erner, and deserves credit for the
summary manner in which she de-
Tended her home against the per-
nicious tramp speculator. We would
like to see a thousand Minnie
Palmers on as many claims in Logan
Colorado.
